Nothing special

No way

It is impossible she comes to you

without a reason

Do you really want to enlighten this demon?

Really

I can't leave a single life unenlightened

on this journey

I can never make myself assured

even though I can make it

through to the scripture

I can never feel assured

Alright

This is your own choice

You really let him go alone?

I'm not sure

I'm gonna sleep if you're still not sure

It's a style

Do you know what you're supposed

to do here tonight?

I'm here

Expecting you to reform for good

Again?

Wukong, why are you here?

Wukong, enlightenment is a solemn thing

Don't fool around here

You're the one that is fooling around

You're ridiculous

Am I ridiculous?

You are ridiculous

Lady White, leave him alone. Let's continue

A bunch of idiots

You really think I'm taken in?

Bro Sha, is her face so

pale with fright now?

Yeah

Bro Bajie, I admire you so much

Lady White

if you have guts

have a good fight with me

If you defeat me

I'll marry you

If I lose

you'll marry me

Fair enough?

If it's unfair to you

of course... we can talk or think about

something else

Pig face. Stay away from me, okay?

Are you scared?

OK. You left me no choice

No one is allowed to interfere

Leave it to me!

Wukong. Can you let me finish?

Step back

As long as you nod

I'll take this demon to nirvana

I hate being called evil demon the most

Evil demon

If not, what else should I call you?

Whatever

Listen, I can give up everything

I'm even able to kill that monk

But! This isn't over

We'll see

Nobody move. Leave her to me

Bro Bajie!

- Bajie

- Bro Sha, stay close with Master

Someone help! I'm stuck

Master?

Forget it

Where is he?

Do you know what blood tastes like?

For years, in order to dispel this curse

I've drunk a great amount

of blood of the kids

Now it's your turn

After I eat you, my disease can be cured

This is your karmic reward

You drain others' blood

to maintain your life

I don't see a difference between you

and the monsters

I'll never be as venomous

as that White Bone Spirit

Monk, the human world is

like hell since long ago

Even the Buddha cannot

extinguish human's evil within

Can you?

Wukong!

This sort of person is

more vicious than demons

Can't I kill, either?

No, you can't

If you keep doing evil

I'll finish you with this cudgel

Kids. Go home now

Now. Come with me

Is the Buddha blind?

Entrusting a wimp like you?

If it weren't for him, killing

all the way with his cudgel

you could go nowhere!

What merits and retribution

are you looking to?

Every word you say is nonsense

and every step you take could kill

By what right do you act like a sage?

By what right? Tell me!

Thanks, holy monk

Mom

The holy monk saved them all

Let's hurry on

Holy monk, please wait

The folks of our kingdom

will be grateful for your kindness forever

Please accept our gifts

You saved my daughter's life.

You're really our savior

Thanks for saving my life

Feel free to accept it

I've said

I'm even able to

kill that monk

He attacked

Wukong

Why did you do this?

She's a demon

So is everyone in your eyes a demon?

Bad guy

Mom

Are you okay, sweetheart

Are you alright?

Please quiet down! Easy!

Calm down. Be quiet

What's wrong with you?

You hurt my daughter. I won't forgive you

Bro Bajie

Mom...

Holy monk, help

Holy monk, help me

Master, stop chanting

Master, he knows he's in the wrong

Yeah

Help me...

Holy monk, help

Wukong

Just leave

Master, this girl doesn't look ordinary

You can't let him leave

Yes, Master. He suddenly did that

There must be a reason

Monk

they have turned from monsters

It's just that you can't see them through

My duty is to escort you to the West

Escorting me

is not the reason that

you can kill willfully

In order to escort me

you don't even spare a little girl

Do you fear I would die

or I would not make it to the West

to remove this hoop for you?

The problem is not with

the hoop on your head

but the hoop in your heart

You can only rely on yourself

There's nothing I could do

Thought it over?

Just leave

Master

Our karma ends here. Don't kneel to me

You...

Leave!

Bajie

Bro Sha

Big brother

The road ahead is dangerous

Do your best to protect him

I'm leaving

- Big brother

- Big brother

Big brother!

- Master!

- Master!

Bro Bajie

Master is kidnapped!

Thank you

If you don't tell me

I really have no idea he's been kidnapped

Now what shall we do?

Bro Sha

Now things go really bad

There are only three options for us

Option One

Go to big brother's home mountain

and bring him back

Oh yeah!

Option Two

Go to Moon Waters Cave

and harass them to buy time for us

Excellent!

Option Three is relatively complex.

Just try to figure it out

That is, you go to the Cave

to buy time for yourself

And it's still you to go

to big brother's place

Are you going too?

Don't ask anything nonsense

We still have the last resort

The burdens are yours.

The dragon horse is mine

Let's disband

Yeah

Why didn't it come to my mind?

Because you're an idiot

Why didn't it come to my mind?

You are...

an unsympathetic, unfaithful jerk!

- I've long been putting up with you

- You!

It hurts?

Yes!

Bro Sha, hit his face! His face!

The horse is yours

Dragon Horse, let's go to save Master

What exactly are you doing this for?

Are you curious?

Because if I eat you,

I can become an immortal demon

I want no reincarnation.

I hate being a human

In this case

what happened in your previous life?

Speaking of it...

the villagers said

I brought on the disaster to their village

I was seen as a demon

That's just a story about my previous life

It's a true story

Don't think you're different

from those who had left

me on the lone cliff

You immortals are just merciless

I hate you all

Hatred

can only give birth to hatred

Why must you be so hard on yourself?

Stop enlightening me

Listen

your enlightenment is of no use at all

Goddess.

Why are you in my way back to my mountain?

Wukong. Even if you get

back to your place today

that is not your final destination

Then can you tell me

where else I can go?

Big brother, do you know that

Master was snatched by the monster

Big brother

Don't be afraid, everyone

I'm here for your lord

Only you can save Master, Big brother

You don't know any better

Can't you just put up a bit with him?

Look how young he is

and how old you are, huh?

Look, Big brother

A branch can be...

easily snapped...

snapped without effort

while ten branches are unbreakable together

If the four of us are united and bound

we will reach the West and

fetch the scripture for sure

He's not here

Why didn't you tell earlier?

What shall I do?

You tell me!

Big brother!

Hey. look!

Idiot!

I need Big brother's suit

of armor to give me courage

Wukong

Golden Cicada has waited for nine lifetimes

before you're available

to be his disciple in this life

and you'll be rectified and led to Buddhism

But the monk of this life
